Video of the Week: Jurassic Park’s Spitter

Obviously my love of film equates to a love of technology, and the technological trickery behind some of motion pictures greatest illusions. It’s been twenty years since Spielberg brought to life the dinosaurs in Jurassic Park, and, regardless of its age, the film still stands up to today’s standards. Little known fact, despite its title, the film only contains about 15 minutes of dinosaurs. 6 minutes are the CGI creations from Industrial Light and Magic, and 9 minutes are puppets from Stan Winston’s studio. Below is a great look into how they created the Dilophosaurus. There are spoilers, but if you haven’t seen Jurassic Park by now, well, you’re missing out.
